For experienced rafters! MAY BE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON BECAUSE OF LOW WATER.
Rafting the Merced River carries you through some of central California’s most wild and rugged land, a place where, as John Muir put it, “the snow is melting into music.” Springtime (April – mid-July) is usually the best time for Merced River rafting, as the mountain snows start to generate virtually non-stop rapids. This coincides with a great bloom of wildflowers across the Merced River’s broad canyon floor. The wild patches of lupine, redbud and California poppy make this an intensely beautiful river experience.

Fishing the Merced River
Merced River is accessed from Merced via State Highway 140 to Mariposa. From Mariposa, travel 15 miles on Highway 140 to the river. The road parallels the river beyond this point. Highway 140 receives heavy traffic to Yosemite National Park and anglers should only park in turnouts where their vehicle does not impede traffic. Merced River is located within the California Department of Fish and Game’s Sierra District and various regulations depending on the river segment being fished.
Within Yosemite National Park: The season is open from the last Saturday in April through November 15 and
